This study tested the suitability of the Australian red-claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus for rear- ing in an intensive culture system as a supplement to Oreochromis niloticus. Fish were grown in twelve 5.5 m3 tanks at ...

The effects of different levels of illumination on sea bream (Sparus aurata, L. 1758) larvae were examined. The best total length development and highest survival rate were achieved in a dark environment. Illumination ...

Between 1994 and 1998, the total inland (freshwater) aquaculture production in Israel rose 6.5% from 15,681 to 16,700 tons. This positive trend, however, reversed in 1999, as a consequence of an outburst of a new viral ...

Fertilization of Oreochromis aureus eggs with UV-irradiated sperm from the closely related species O. niloticus, followed by diploidy restoration, produced offspring with lower embryo viability and higher skeletal deformation ...

Recently developed, active suspension intensive ponds are based on the idea that fish ponds (aer- ated and mixed as required for the well-being of the fish) can also serve as water purification units. The present paper ...

Antigenicity of the surface A-layer protein of an atypical Aeromonas salmonicida strain was tested in goldfish following immunization with various A-protein (AP) antigenic preparations (soluble form, alum-precipitated, ...

The effects of rainbow trout cage culture on water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton and ben- thos were investigated in a cage farm of 30 ton capacity in Kesikköprü dam lake. Water tempera- ture did not differ among ...

With average annual growth at 38%, sea bream production is the main growth factor in Israel's fish- eries industry. It is estimated that cultured sea bream constituted over 10% of the volume and 20% of the value of domestic ...

The production of two heterozygous and one homozygous clones of the Israeli Dor-70 line of com- mon carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) was tested using DNA fingerprinting (DFP) and mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) analysis. The clones ...

Gonadal development in two progenies of the Australian silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus, was studied from the larval stage to 18.5 months. For approximately one month after hatching, it was impossible to visually or ...

The effects of size, dry mass intake and nutritional value of the brackishwater cladoceran, Diaphanosoma celebensis, on the growth and survival of 15-30 day sea bass (Lates calcarifer) lar- vae reared in a static green ...
